1.1 Introduction
E-recruitment involves posting job openings on various online job boards, company websites,
and social media platforms. It allows organizations to reach a global audience, enabling them to
tap into a diverse talent pool. Additionally, applicants can easily submit their resumes and
applications electronically, streamlining the application process.One of the key advantages of e-
recruitment is the use of applicant tracking systems (ATS), which automate the screening and
filtering of resumes based on predefined criteria. This significantly reduces the time and effort
required for initial candidate valuation.Moreover, e-recruitment enables real-time
communication between recruiters and candidates, facilitating quicker and more transparent
interactions. Video interviews and online assessments are commonly used to evaluate candidates
remotely, eliminating geographical constraints and saving both time and resources.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Challenges of E-recruitment
Swati Gairola
E-recruitment today is considered as an organization’s soul. Most of the organizations today are
moving towards e-recruitment. Human resource department of an organization is majority
moving towards online recruitment tools. E-recruitment is effective in terms of cost, time, reach
of applicants and many more parameters which makes it so popular amongst job seekers and
recruiters. Although e-recruitment tools have enormous benefits for its users, at the same time we
can’t overlook the issues attached with e-recruitment tools. All the tools have their benefits and
issues which need to be addressed on time to make them more effective.
E-Recruitment: Practices, Opportunities and Challenges
E-Recruitment is a new technological means for selecting one of the companies’ most crucial
resources, i.e. human resource. Recruitment has become an important process in the highly
competitive labor market. The traditional methods of recruitment have been revolutionized by
the wave of the internet. E-recruitment is the latest trend and it has been adopted by large and
small-sized organizations. Many companies use e-recruitment to post jobs and accept resumes on
the internet, and correspond with the applicants by e-mail. The main success factors of e-
recruitment are the value-added services provided by the job sites, cost effectiveness, speed,
providing customized solutions, helping to establish relationships with HR managers and
facilitating brand building of the companies. Despite the inherent benefits, certain challenges are
also associated with the e-recruitment process. The emerging trend in technology and process or
globalization suggests that the process will continue to expand, and consequently organizations
should key in into the process to enhance the quality of their staff recruitment functions. The
main objective of this study is to analyse the overall trends in e-recruitment use and practice and
to list the opportunities and challenges faced by job seekers and employers.

little research on the impact of e-recruitment on the recruitment process as a whole. The present
study fills part of this gap by investigating the effect of e-recruitment on the design of the
recruitment process. Three explorative case studies were carried out in three large organizations
in Denmark in 2008-2010. The findings indicate that e-recruitment transforms the traditional
recruitment process into a time- and space-independent, collaborative hiring process. The most
significant changes are recorded in the sequence and increased divisibility of main recruitment
tasks and subtasks. For management, the main task is now that of communicating with
candidates. In addition, a new on-going task of maintaining a corporate career website has
become an integral part of the new recruitment process. The new design is presented in the
following, and its implications briefly discussed.
STUDY
AASTHA TYAGI
In the rapidly changing global world economy, it's important to keep pace with the competition
and succeed. Today, one of the most crucial sources of competitive advantage is based on human
resource efforts through attracting and retaining talented individuals. The internet has helped in
attracting potential candidates to an organization from the recruitment process, which is referred
to as E-Recruitment. The practice of issuing a vacant position and applying for a job via a
website has increased steadily. The purpose of this paper is to broaden the research on the
recruitment practices, with focus on E-Recruitment practices and trends in India, to identify what
e-recruitment methods are being used and what benefits are being experienced by organizations
using these methods. A number of methods will be used for the study including the interview
method, surveys and the secondary data available.
The Internet has already impacted the recruitment process and the development of Web 2.0
offers recruiters new perspectives. Are web 2.0 practices revealing new e-recruitment strategies?
We connect first the RBV and the SNT respectively with Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Then, we
present the results from an exploratory study conducted among recruiters in software and
computing services companies. It appears that the use of Web 1.0 is generalized but that it is
becoming insufficient. Web 2.0 is used by firms to develop employer branding and a reputation
and to create new relationships with potential applicants.
Opportunities & Challenges of E-Recruitment
Nowadays the traditional recruitment method has been revolutionized by the wave of the
Internet, ERecruitment is the latest trend and it has been adopted by large & small-sized
organizations.Significance of the internet can be seen as searching for the best suitable job is just
a click away. Job portals, company websites and social networking all makes recruitment speedy
and helps in finding best match for vacant positions. E- recruitment is getting trendy among
recruiters and job seekers because of its advantages like time, cost & quality etc. By just a
click of the mouse or tapping on the screen of his mobile or tablet, one can find the jobs as per
his skills, education and professional experience. The main objective of this study is to find out
the various trends of online recruitment and to list the opportunities and challenges that job
seekers and employer face while doing E-Recruitment
The Internet has become an important tool for all human matters including e-recruitment. The
aim of this paper is to evaluate the factors that affect the attitude and intention to use the e-
recruitment. A questionnaire was designed to examine applicant’s intention to use e-recruitment
by obtaining their opinions; data were obtained from 356 job seekers who are e-recruitment
actual users. The results revealed that enjoyment, usefulness and ease of use significantly
correlate with their attitude while their attitude strongly correlates with their intention to use.
Applicants’ demographic variance was tested and found that age, education and Internet
experience have no statistically significant differences except for a few sections, while gender
and occupation have statistically significant differences. The study recommended is to take the
advantages of information technology and continuously update this application by improving
productivity, easy to work with and enjoyable experience for job seekers.
E-Recruitment: A New Dimension of Human Resource Management in India
Sneha Singh
In the rapidly changing global world economy, the only essential value for an enterprise is the
experience, skills, innovativeness and insights of its manpower resources; they are the key
components and are considered as the assets of the organization. In this highly competitive
market organizations need to have that core strength of an effective workforce. Every
organization puts in their best to attract, hire and retain the talented manpower resources, which
is the biggest challenge of the current system. This paper identifies Internet recruitment methods
from relevant literature, and describes how their benefits of online recruitment can influence the
time and cost containment. Today, one of the most crucial sources of competitive advantage is
based on human resource efforts through attracting and retaining talented individuals. Like all
other disciplines human resource management has also grown to heights and working incredibly
for the betterment of the organizations and people in general. Recruitment through the internet
has helped in taking HRM to E-HRM, attracting potential candidates to an organization from the
recruitment process, which is referred to as E-Recruitment. The practice of issuing a vacant
position and applying for a job via a website has increased steadily. The purpose of this paper is
to broaden the research on the online Recruitment practices for the entire development of the
organization with focus on E-Recruitment practices and trends in India.

Human resources are an important tool for any organization. Organizations have to recruit
people with requisite skills, qualifications and experience, if they have to survive and prosper in
a highly competitive environment. The main goal of this research paper is to analyze the e-
Recruitment tools and trends and the use of the internet for all HR activities. The objective is to
identify what e-recruitment methods are being used and what benefits are being experienced by
organizations using these methods. Nowadays for a large majority, online recruitment is an
important part of the recruitment strategy because as the world is getting flatter day by day as of
globalization, many new technologies and concepts have been coined.
Impact of E-Recruitment on Effectiveness of HR Department in Private Sector of Pakistan
The Human Resource (HR) department is one of the most vital departments in any modern
organization. Many research studies until date have concluded that the HR department plays an
important role in the success of any organization. Amongst the various activities, which an HR
department expected to conduct, Recruitment holds special importance, as it is concerned with
„bringing people into the organization‟. This research paper aims at exploring the impact of
latest technological developments (especially the concept of E-Recruitment) in the context of
recruitment and how it has facilitated the modern day HR managers. Private Sector is one of the
largest and fastest growing sectors of Pakistan and it is generally believed that the private
companies operative in Pakistan have well established HR departments that tend to utilize
modern technology to assist them with the recruitment activities. Thus, it is only logical to assess
the effectiveness of this technology through the example of the private sector of Pakistan.
Yioula Melanthiou
The purpose of this article is to present an initial exploratory investigation on e-recruiting and the
role of social network sites (hereafter SNSs) during the process. Particularly, the aim is to
identify if companies use social media during their recruitment processes to attract and screen
applicants. Three critical elements guided the research: the use of social media to attract and
screen applicants; the legal implication of e-recruitment and social network screening; and the
possibility of using e-recruitment as the main hiring strategy. Beyond the information generated
through the literature review, primary data were collected from Cypriot organizations. The
findings of this research endeavor indicate that the online recruitment method has a lot of
benefits but also pitfalls of which recruiters should be aware. Furthermore, it seems that the
contemporary practice of employee screening through social media can highly affect the hiring
decision and legal implications are likely to arise with the wrong use of information. On the
contrary, a well-designed system and strategic utilization of available information about potential
candidates may significantly assist the recruitment of employees with the most suitable skills and
competencies.

human capital for the concern. In recent years, the field of human resource management has
undergone numerous technological advancements. The Internet has made an impact on the
overall functioning of the human resource department. HR processes and procedures have been
supported by everything from complicated file-folder systems to automation, going from usage
of multiple systems and databases to a single version of the whole system. It has progressed with
frequent innovations viz, Human Resource Information System, Virtual Human Resources and

transactions by using the internet along with other technologies. In other words, E-HRM is a way
of implementing HRM strategies, policies and practices in an organization through a direct

Development of a scale to measure the perceived benefits of e-recruitment from the
viewpoint of the recruiter
This study looked at the development of a scale to measure the perceived benefits of recruitment
from the viewpoint of the recruiter. Based on the review of the previous literature and studies the
research objectives were posed. The perceived benefits of e recruitment were defined in the
literature by several scholars from a qualitative perspective. Nevertheless, up to the knowledge
of the researcher a quantitative scale to measure these perceived benefits was not developed.
Through the review of literature and the interviews held with key recruitment and human
resources managers and executives, a proposed set of constructs were developed in the form of a
questionnaire. The initial questionnaire was tested and administered to several sectors within
Cairo, Egypt. Statistical results revealed a number of valid items that could be used for the
measurement of these constructs. Future research should extend to other study sectors and other
domains
Nowadays, organizations are shifting from traditional recruitment to e-recruitment. The present

SUGGESTIONS
● Since the majority of respondents fall within the age categories of 21-30, organizations
should tailor their recruitment strategies to effectively attract and engage this
demographic. This could include utilizing social media platforms and online job portals,
which are popular sources of job information among younger age groups.
● While recruitment agencies are a prominent source of candidates, organizations should
also focus on leveraging employee referrals and personal references. Building a diverse
candidate pipeline can bring in varied perspectives and skill sets, contributing to a more
dynamic workforce.
● Given the widespread adoption of e-recruitment methods, organizations should invest in
refining their e-recruitment processes. This includes providing training to hiring
managers on effective utilization of e-recruitment tools, streamlining the application
process to improve user experience, and leveraging data analytics to optimize recruitment
outcomes.
● The data highlights common struggles faced during online hiring, such as finding
accurate applicant information and accessing a large pool of job seekers. To address these
challenges, organizations should invest in technology solutions, such as applicant
tracking systems and AI-driven recruitment platforms, that can automate candidate
screening and provide access to a broader talent pool.
● Organizations should regularly review and refine their recruitment practices based on
feedback and performance metrics. This includes identifying areas for improvement, such
as reducing recruitment timelines and enhancing candidate engagement strategies, and
implementing targeted interventions to drive positive outcomes.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the findings of the recruitment survey illuminate key trends and challenges in the
contemporary job market. The overwhelming presence of younger respondents underscores the
necessity for organizations to adapt their recruitment strategies to effectively engage with this
demographic, leveraging digital platforms and social media channels. Moreover, the emphasis on
past experience by organizations suggests a need for candidates to highlight their relevant skills
and achievements.
